About StoneFly, Inc.
The Beginning
StoneFly’s journey started with the creation of the iSCSI storage protocol and the registration of
the domain name “iscsi.com” in March 1996. Headquartered in Silicon Valley (Hayward,
California), StoneFly was among the first to manufacture and ship iSCSI storage appliances in
2002. Ever since, StoneFly has contributed in making the iSCSI protocol into the globally
standard storage protocol used by industry professionals across the globe.
Our Vision
StoneFly was founded with the singular vision of delivering simple and affordable enterprise
grade data management solutions to SMBs, SMEs, and large organizations worldwide.
Wide Range of Enterprise Products – Physical Servers & Cloud-Based Solutions
This vision has guided innovation at every step of the way and enabled StoneFly to introduce
several enterprise-grade storage solutions such as NAS, SAN, Unified (NAS, SAN and Object),
and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI). StoneFly also stepped into the backup and disaster
recovery market with purpose-built unified server and storage hyperconverged backup solutions
capable of delivering reduced RTPOs for enterprise workloads.
With more than two decades in the industry, StoneFly has now built a wide range of enterprise
products and solutions that extend beyond physical solutions and also include serverless and
cloud-based offerings. Our strategic technology partnerships with Veeam, Microsoft Azure,
Amazon AWS, and other industry leaders has enabled us to offer cloud storage, cloud backup,
cloud storage gateways, and data migration solutions to our customers worldwide.

Chapter 1:
Storage Hardware Overview
StoneFly data storage solutions support a number of hardware architectures facilitating a variety
of enterprise and SMB use-cases. In this chapter, we take a closer look at these storage hardware
architectures, the different key components within the hardware, supported storage drives, and
the maximum storage capacities of the available storage appliances.
1.1 Available Storage Hardware Architectures
StoneFly storage appliances support the following hardware architectures:
1.1.1 Integrated Storage Appliance
1.1.2 Dual-Node Shared Nothing Storage System
1.1.3 Scale Out Storage System
Key Hardware Components of StoneFly Storage Appliances
Before exploring the aforementioned hardware architectures, it is important to know about the
four key components of StoneFly storage appliances:
Storage Controller (SC)
RAID Controller (Integrated Solutions)
Expandable Bunch of Drives (EBODs)
Storage Controller (SC)
The storage controller is a hardware component that functions as the management layer for the
storage system.
The StoneFly storage OS (StoneFusion) is configured on a dedicated SSD or PCI-E based NVMe
SSD (depending on the product model and series) which runs independently of the data storage.
7. [STONEFLY STORAGE PRODUCT CATALOG] P a g e | 5
RAID Controller
The high-performance hardware Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) controller
configures multiple drives (depending on the configured RAID level) to work as redundant
drives for fault-tolerance and high availability. Supported RAID levels depend on the appliance
series and model.

Expandable Bunch of Drives (EBODs)
EBODs are storage expansion units compatible with most StoneFly storage solutions. EBODs
are used to add more storage capacities to existing StoneFly appliances (scale up or vertical
scaling). With support for enterprise SAS drives, StoneFly EBODs enable users to set up multi-
tiered storage capacities with their existing storage infrastructure.
Available Form Factors for EBODs
EBODs for Integrated Hardware with support for 3.5” enterprise SAS drives and SSDs:
12-bay 2U 12Gb SAS Expansion Unit
16-bay 3U 12Gb SAS Expansion Unit
24-bay 4U 12Gb SAS Expansion Unit
44-bay 4U 12Gb SAS Expansion Unit
60-bay 4U 12Gb SAS Expansion Unit
EBODs for Integrated Hardware with support for 2.5” enterprise SAS drives and SSDs:
24-bay 2U 12Gb SAS Expansion Unit
For the hardware specifications of integrated appliance EBODs, please refer to section 2.2.
8. [STONEFLY STORAGE PRODUCT CATALOG] P a g e | 6
1.1.1 Integrated Storage Appliances
The integrated storage appliance hardware architecture delivers the “storage in a box”
experience. This hardware architecture is comprised of a single hardware chassis with built-in
SC, RAID Controller (if any), and storage drives.
StoneFly integrated appliance hardware supports 6Gb SATA (4-bay and 6-bay I-Series & D-
Series appliances only), enterprise 12Gb SAS 7200RPM, 10k RPM, and 15k RPM drives, and
enterprise 12Gb SAS SSDs with storage capacities ranging from a few terabytes to multiple
petabytes.
Available Integrated Appliance Form Factors
Integrated appliances that support 3.5” 6Gb
SATA hard drives:
4-bay Mini-Tower (I-Series & D-Series)
6-bay 2U Rackmount (I-Series & D-Series)
Integrated appliances that support 3.5” 12Gb SAS drives & SSDs:
8-bay 2U Rackmount
12-bay 2U Rackmount
16-bay 3U Rackmount
24-bay 4U Rackmount
36-bay 4U Rackmount
Integrated appliances that support 2.5” 12Gb SAS drives & SSDs:
24-bay 2U Rackmount
Note: Supported integrated appliance form factors vary depending on the storage solution. For
more information, please refer to the Hardware Specifications section of the relevant StoneFly
storage product or contact StoneFly pre-sales engineers.
1.1.2 Dual-Node Shared Nothing Storage Systems
StoneFly dual-node shared nothing storage systems are comprised of two synchronized
integrated appliance nodes. This hardware configuration is built to deliver fault-tolerance and
high-availability in the event of the complete hardware failure of an entire integrated appliance
node.
This high-availability hardware configuration leverages the StoneFly storage OS to replicate data
between the two appliance nodes in real-time thereby creating redundant copies of data.
In the event of hardware failure of a single integrated appliance node, the system automatically
fails over to the secondary node, delivering a disruption-free storage experience while the
primary system is repaired. This makes this configuration the best fit for enterprise
12-bay 2U 3.5” Rackmount
9. [STONEFLY STORAGE PRODUCT CATALOG] P a g e | 7
environments that cannot tolerate downtime and are looking for storage systems that do not have
a single point-of-failure.
Note: The available form factors, appliance models and hardware components of the dual-node
shared nothing storage systems are the same as the integrated appliance hardware architecture.
The only difference between the two is that integrated appliances are comprised of a single
hardware chassis whereas the dual-node shared nothing solution use two synchronized integrated
appliances.
1.1.3 Scale Out Storage Systems
Scale out storage systems start with three integrated appliance nodes. As the name suggests,
StoneFly scale out hardware architecture is built to deliver the ability to scale out to virtually an
unlimited number of appliance nodes for petabytes of storage capacity.
Each integrated appliance node has a built-in processor, SC, RAID controller and storage drives.
The total workload is aggregated over the total number of appliance nodes in the storage system.
The addition of each new scale out node delivers a gradual increase in performance, along with
an increase in storage capacity. The ability to dually scale makes scale out storage systems the
perfect fit for business environments that process and store big data.

16. [STONEFLY STORAGE PRODUCT CATALOG] P a g e | 14
Highly Scalable Storage Architecture
StoneFly SSO enterprise NAS appliances are dually scalable; they can scale up (when combined
with optional high-performance hardware RAID controller upgrade option) and scale out.
Scale Up: To scale up or scale vertically, users can add EBODs (refer to Chapter 2). The
addition of EBODs increases storage capacities.
Scale Out: To scale out or scale horizontally, users can add NAS integrated appliance nodes.
Each integrated node increases the storage capacity and the performance of the NAS system.
The total workload is aggregated over the available number of appliance nodes thereby
delivering better performance proportional to the increase in storage capacity.
Built-in Cloud Connect
All StoneFly NAS appliances have built-in cloud connect that can be configured with Azure,
AWS, any other S3 compatible cloud or the StoneFly private cloud.
By leveraging the cloud connect feature, users can configure a hybrid NAS storage system. The
feature also facilitates use-cases such as cloud archiving and surveillance video archiving.
